Lusche what are the stats. How many times has he been shot down by manned guns. It would be nice if it could be broken down by gun type, but I dont think that is possible.
According to records this month, I've been killed by 4 manned acks. Not including auto ack. The past 3 months it has been 0-2 times. I think I complained in July when I blew up at 12K in a straight down dive going 450 mph in a 4hog with 5 kills, trying to avoid the ack, as my CV was right next to enemy CV. Impossible to avoid! Simply sent straight to The tower.
I have encounter Violater many times but I have never seen him vulch a field.
Everyone vulches a field now and then for one reason or another. However, there are players that vulching is their game play. Think goodness their numbers are limited or it would ruin the game.
I try to avoid directly vulching if my team isn't capturing a base. Not that I never have or will never do it. But I don't make it my sole form of kills. When I'm trying to kill enemies coming from a CV and they have ack that shoots for miles away at anything above 3K, makes its difficult to achieve a successful sortie. Add on the snipers in manned puff acks like last night that just explode me in the air from 6-8K away with multiple friendlies around me.
My goal is simple, I listen in game to complaints, or read them on this board, and come up with tools for the average unskilled player to make himself better with specific offline tools. One of the most poorly addressed complaints is how hard it is to learn how to use all of those other toys besides fighters. So I built that gunnery training terrain.
You guys are supposed to walk on water in this game if reading your posts over the years are accurate about your feats of glory, why so much complaining. Just use that MOJO you constantly tell us all about here in the forums to over come these things. Why is Hitech supposed to drop everything because you get whacked like the rest of us? And don't hide behind what's good for game play and your only concern is for others.
I am not trying to complain here, just a mention about it's lethality and performance and to see if it needs to be taken down a notch. I have had amazing sorties just ended, poof, insta tower, not even close to ack firing distance of the CV. Being good at flying is one thing, getting rocked by stationary shooters that I couldn't even get close to if I tried, is another thing. They have the easy ability to down my fighter, while they sit in a gunner and dial their distance in and pull a trigger. I can't dip, dodge duck or dive, to avoid their magic bullet. If I was right over the base, I could see it. But being 5-10K away is just crazy.
